Hey Ben, question for you! :) what’s the reason behind defining Nostr as web3 social media based on your article in the link shared ?
Btw Ben, Nostr is not Web3. Web3 is a marketing term for shill-a-coin valley VCs to dump useless premined tokens onto the public. Web 2 = you are the product. Web3 = you are the exit liquidity. Nostr is more like the p2p web, going back to when things were not controlled by surveillance capitalists. Bitcoiners are allergic to the term web3 because it is corrupted by perverse ponzi incentives.

Do you understand that humans have never before been incentivized to find new and better ways to harvest unused energy in remote locations like they are with Bitcoin? This is an important aspect of bitcoin that will revolutionize the world and the MSM always seems to ignore it.
I think it’s easier to cover if it’s actually happening. I know they’ve started doing it with excess methane but are they actually doing it with stranded hydro out in the middle of nowhere and that sort of thing yet?

No need for billion dollar pipeline or billions in transmission or energy wasted on power lines with resistance
If there is no incentive to harness stranded energy more efficiently(because the price of electricity in the middle of sahara desert is zero(no buyers) then no investment gets put into making it more efficient. If the incentive is present then human ingenuity can radically change human ability to make use of energy after a couple decades.
Interesting. I may go deeper on this
